1. World Bank Group Energy Strategy Update Round-table Discussion World Bank Group 7 October 2010

2. GLOBAL CONSULTATIONS Oct Jan- Sep Aug Apr- May Energy Strategy Approach Paper available on-line First round consultations Web-based Face-to-face Sum- mer Feedback summary available on-line Second round consultations Web-based Board of Executive Directo rs Sep– Dec Drafting of strategy

3. Improve operational and financial performance Improve access and reliability of energy supplies Facilitate shift to more environmentally sustainable energy sector development Strengthen governance OBJECTIVES & SUPPORTING PILLARS OF ENERGY STRATEGY

4. CONSULTATION PROCESS Governments, civil society organizations, private sector, industry associations, academia, research institutions, donor governments, aid organizations, other multilateral development organizations 58 face-to-face and VC meetings in 40 countries + about 170 written comments Multi-stakeholder meetings –  Africa: Kenya, Mozambique  Asia: Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Lao PDR, Sri Lanka, Vietnam  Europe and Central Asia: Albania, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Turkey, UK, Ukraine  Latin America: Brazil, Mexico, Peru  Middle East and North Africa: Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia  USA Meetings with government agencies in Australia, Benin, Brazil, China, Denmark, Egypt, India, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Sweden Meetings with NGOs in Mozambique, Netherlands, Norway 10 meetings with poor communities, with and without electricity, in Liberia, Madagascar, and Togo in Jul–Sep

5. LESSONS OF THE CONSULTATIONS Consultations produced inputs reflecting wide range of expertise, experience, and perspectives Highlighted issues of widespread concern, region- and country-specific challenges, and controversial areas Provided a framework for public transnational discussion of energy Started a dialogue between the Bank Group and energy stakeholders worldwide

6. FEEDBACK RECEIVED In All Meetings Twin objectives appropriate Pursue synergies wherever possible Policy and regulatory work perhaps the Bank’s strongest comparative advantage Long-term, comprehensive energy planning missing in many countries Promote productive uses of energy, development of local energy markets, helping the poor become suppliers and not just consumers of energy Promote South-to-South knowledge and technology transfer and cooperation Help increase uptake of new technologies Promote energy efficiency improvement and local renewable energy, not only with financing but also through policy and technical advice and awareness-raising

7. FEEDBACK RECEIVED In All Meetings Give even greater priority to affordability (especially from developing country governments) cooking and heating fuels, including sustainable wood harvesting capacity building across all areas of the energy sector interlinkages to other sectors (transport, agriculture, urban, water) social engagement: gender, human rights, empowerment, consultation, local community ownership and participation

8. FEEDBACK RECEIVED TO DATE Issues with Divergent Views 8 IssueOne end of spectrumThe other end Trade-offs between global and local For the poor, cheap energy is priority #1 No trade-offs in countries with low emissions Do not become another GEF False dichotomy “Cheap” energy is not cheap if externalities are included Hydro power Finance, because it meets twin objectives cost- effectively Stop lending for large hydro projects Remove large hydro from RE classification Adopt WCD recommendations Centralized vs. decentralized Promote large, centralized power aimed at lowering costs Stop financing large, centralized power projects, because they do not benefit the poor Extend access through decentralized, off-grid, small-scale RE

9. FEEDBACK RECEIVED TO DATE Issues with Divergent Views 9 IssueOne end of spectrumThe other end Coal Invest to maximize efficiency in coal power generation (SC, USC, IGCC, renovation) and for CCS demonstration Lend for coal only in IDA Stop lending for coal immediately Fossil fuels Work to make fossil fuel use as efficient as possible Natural gas = bridging fuel Phase out lending for fossil fuels immediately or in the next 10 years Adopt EIR recommendations Nuclear Finance Develop internal capacity to provide regulatory and other advice Do not finance Low carbon targets Expand definition to include SC, USC Too constraining, diverting resources away from poverty reduction 50% RE by 2015 and 70% by 2020 40% RE and another 40% EE by 2015

10. HOW FEEDBACK IS BEING CONSIDERED Internal Discussion Discussion with each of the six regions, environment, forestry, transport, economic, and research departments, and IFC units Working with the environment strategy team Input to Africa biomass energy strategy In the Strategy Annex with a matrix of comments and response to comments Key responses captured in the main text of the strategy
